Emily's Snake Thread

[EasternGirl]

Tallie is Little Joe's sister! Little Joe says "Hi Tallie!". Now we are family. Kat also has some siblings to my snakes...it's very cool. Now...to respond to your question about Proximus, I was thinking that given the weight and length that he sounded a bit thin...but looking at the pics, he looks healthy to me. Now that I think about it...I believe that Seeley is about 38 grams and about 2 1/2 feet long. Some snakes are just small in diameter and weight. Virgo is very cute! I think we have those rough brown snakes around here...or maybe it's rough green snakes...we have rough something...lol.

How exciting! Are they from the same litter, do you know?


Edit: I also want to continue my report from earlier, that Tallie finished her worms pieces! I gave her 9 total, 6 were super small, like the size of tiniest noodles in Spaghetti-o's And the other three(the first ones she went after!) were close to 1/4 inch.

Yay, Tally! Good job!

I let Proximus swim a little today

A little blurry, but cute! I had my hand resting in the water, and after a while of swimming around, he came up and rested his head on my hand When he was done swimming, I let him and Tallie see each other through the glass. He didn't seem to notice, and was just trying get inside of her cage(She is in his old cage.) But she came up and seemed to be pretty excited to see another snake.

Her head is barely above his, to the left(kinda blends in with the substrate). I'm going to have to get them each a friend as soon as I can

Proximus looks like a happy little swimmer.

Cute photos

To make finding her easier you could use some orchid bark chips I saw and albino marcianus that was on bark chips and it make it's colours really stand out.

Yea, I was thinking about getting something darker, because she's almost perfectly camouflaged in the aspen When you sat orchid, do you mean orchid colored?

[-MARWOLAETH-]

Id don't know why its called orchid. Its a dark brown colour like this stuff.

[ProXimuS]

Oooh I see...Weird I'll have to look at what kind of safe, darker bedding they have next time I go to the store.

Yes, Emily, Tallie and Little Joe are from the same litter. I had reptibark in my tanks for a while. The albinos seemed to really like it...and yes, their colors really stood out in it. I use it from time to time. Just make sure you get the actual reptibark if you buy that. I bought a generic kind and it really had a strong pine smell. From what I understand about reptibark, it is made of pine but treated so that the aromatic oils that can be bad for snakes are removed. I don't think they did that with the generic brand I bought. Check the bag of any kind of wood substrate you buy...unless it's aspen which is safe. It should tell you if the aromatic oils have been removed.
